Mrs. Melanie Balabanski

3rd Grade Teacher

Melanie Balabanski is so proud to continue to be a part of this amazing staff here at Galileo. She has taught for 16 years in grades three, four and five. She spent 5 years focused on the integration of educational technology into the classroom. It was through this experience that Melanie discovered a passion for challenging students through the use of technology as a tool to engage, enrich and empower.

Melanie fell in love with Galileo when her son, James, first attended as a first grader. She could see that there was something very different and special about this place. Melanie is a mom of 2 wonderful boys, James (6th grader at Galileo), and Luke (starting Kindergarten at Galileo this year). Some of her favorite things to do these days is to spend time playing and being with her kiddos and wonderful husband. She also LOVES the beach (or anything outdoors), going to Orlando City games, reading with her sons, and staying active.
